Using the ps command. :)

rosuav@dewey:~$ python3
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20)
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux

>>> import subprocess

False

rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3

True

There's a DHCP server running on Sikorsky, but not on Dewey. :)

Of course, this can be faked. Any process can call itself 'dhcpd' and
pretend to be the DHCP server. It's up to you to decide how to deal
with that. (Probably by not caring, I would expect. Unless you
actually expect someone to maliciously try to confuse your script,
it's not worth the hassle of protecting yourself.)
